Amalfi Coast Advice Please!
Hey everyone!
My boyfriend and I (22) are backpacking Italy starting in the Amalfi Coast this June!
Our flight gets into Naples at 11am on the 13th of June and we are going straight to Sorrento. So that gives us our first afternoon/evening in Sorrento (our base).
We then have 3 full days and then one more morning before we move to Naples for a night.
We want to see a lot on the coast and it’s our only coastal location this summer so we want to make the most of it. We need help deciding the best things to do. We want to do:
~A day trip to Capri
~Rent scooters for a day
~A day trip to Positano
~Rent a boat for a day
~Do a boat tour
~Spend a day in Sorrento/at the beach
We think Capri seems like a must do, and maybe the scooters too as that seems fun/romantic.
Does anyone have any advice? Would it be more beneficial to rent a boat or to go on a boat tour that drops us off in different towns?
It’s so overwhelming as we want to make the most of our time there but would ideally also love to not feel rushed (which is hard given our short time).
We could make go to Naples late on the 5th day to get more less a full day on the coast?
Thanks in advance! ☺️
